MAC Holiday is always a bit of an overwhelming event, just because of the sheer size of the offerings. Each year, MAC puts out a holiday colour collection, but they also have several separate, yet related, launches of more giftable items. From eyeshadow...
A good smoky eye palette is never a bad thing to have on hand. It's useful, easy to travel with, and it's classic. I'm not loving this year's version of the smoky eye palette, because it's more of a...
MAC's Warm eyeshadow palette usually gets me. I'm warm-toned, and I naturally gravitate towards warmer shades. Give me gold and I'm a happy lady! This year's warm eyeshadow palette isn't my...
Mystic Cool is an interesting mix of eyeshadow shades. It's not the most cohesive palette MAC has put out, but if you're just looking to boost up your color collection and aren't so concerned with a palette that...
I've always liked MAC eyeshadow palettes, because I do feel like they represent a chance to get multiple eyeshadows at a more affordable price point, and MAC has put out some great limited edition shades in holiday...
I like that MAC tried something new - a face palette. I haven't seen them put out a face palette in quite some time, and the tiered system of this compact is convenient. These palettes actually do have some heft to them,...
I cannot tell a lie: I hate lip palettes with a passion. There are many reasons why I passionately dislike lip palettes, and lest you be swayed by packaging and pretty shades, I'll enumerate my top three for you.
1. They're messy....
Do you let others play with your makeup stash? Or do you say, "Hands off!"
.
Personally, no, not really. I'll show them where it's at, but I prefer not to have people to touch it... and if I let anyone play, I have to be there to supervise!

Every MAC holiday color collection sees an introduction of new, limited edition mineralize eyeshadows. This year is no different. With six mineralize eyeshadows, each with a crescent of some glittery...
I think fans of MAC mineralize blushes will enjoy the two newest, limited edition additions released with the holiday color collection. I still prefer pressed powder blushes myself, but these two are exceptionally...
MAC launches two metallic finish lacquers: Lucky Number and $$$ Yes (which is a repromote from Heatherette), as well as two repromoted shades of their Softsparkle Eye Pencils -- Nightsky and Iris...
Four shades of lipsticks debuted with MAC's holiday color collection, with one being permanent (Pervette). Personally, I was really hoping to see another amazing holiday red from MAC this...
A few months ago, we previewed Phiff! and She-Zam, and finally, we can check out the third - Jingle Jangle. (Note: I hope to have lip swatches posted tomorrow or this weekend.)
If you've been in the MAC-know for the past year, you probably remember the original launch of the Cremesheen Glasses. The three released with the holiday collection are all repromotes...
Worst Red Lipstick...

Korres Cherry Lip Kisses ($19.50) is a set of three 0.20 oz. lipglosses (that's full size!) by Korres for the price of just a little more than one single lipgloss. After trying #52 in Red Pink, I wanted to see how the other shades stacked up and if they were as opaque as that one (which was already a...
Do you ever get overwhelmed by beauty products? Or are you really savvy and never miss a beat?
.
Of course! There are so many different types of products and brands... it's easy for me to get lost in them!
.
Urban Decay 24/7 Super Stash ($36.00) is just one of three different sets of 24/7 Eye Pencils available for the holiday season. If I had to pick one, I'd opt for the Super Stash, if only because you can grab the four new shades all at once.  In the Super Stash, you'll receive nine half-sized...
Guerllain Georgia Le Rouge G de Guerlain Lipstick
Guerlain Georgia Le Rouge G de Guerlain Lipstick ($45.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a watermelon pink with a glossy, wet-look and tiny microspheres of shimmer that sparkle. This color clings to lips, and it looks natural, yet the color is still bright enough...
If you don't like a beauty product you bought, what do you do with it? Return it? Give it to a friend? Burn it?

I usually pass it onto a friend, unless it was extremely disappointing, then I'll return it.
